When companies say, "No one wants to work anymore" they mean for them. They don't consider why doing the bare minimum for their employees is a negative when they view every cost as a burden. When they display their "burden" for their employees as a gift given when they do the least they have to.

Actually I did want to work for them, at the wage they were giving me, and then they laid me off because it was their best quarter ever, but things were slowing a little.

Edit: and knowing the state of things in the department I was laid off from, there was an exceptional amount of work that still needed doing, that will never get done with fewer people after the mass layoffs, so those that didn't get laid off will be overworked and or have a never getting anywhere feeling now.
